From Infancy to Childhood: A Comprehensive Review of Event- and Task-Related Brain Oscillations.

Brain development from infancy through childhood involves complex structural and functional changes influenced by both internal and external factors. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of event and task-related brain oscillations, focusing on developmental changes across different frequency bands, including delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma. Electroencephalography (EEG) studies highlight that these oscillations serve as functional building blocks for sensory and cognitive processes, with significant variations observed across different developmental stages.

The Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Polylactic Acid/Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol Multi-Material Structures Manufactured by Material Extrusion.

The mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLA), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), and PLA/PETG structures manufactured using the multi-material additive manufacturing (MMAM) method were studied in this work. Material extrusion additive manufacturing was used to print PLA/PETG samples with various PLA and PETG layer numbers. By varying the top and bottom layer numbers of two thermoplastics, the effect of layer number on the mechanical properties of 3D-printed structures was investigated.

Alterations of resting-state Gamma frequency characteristics in aging and Alzheimer's disease.

Unlabelled: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an important brain disease associated with aging. It involves various functional and structural changes which alter the EEG characteristics. Although numerous studies have found changes in delta, theta, alpha, and beta power, fewer studies have looked at the changes in the resting state EEG gamma activity characteristics in AD.

The Relation between the Radial Collapse and the Number of Metaphyseal Screws for Distal Radius Fractures.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is the evaluation of radial collapse, based on the number of screws used in the metaphyseal region and by distal dorsal distance (DDD) and lunate facet distance (LFD) measurement.

Outcome of Locked Compressive Nailing in Aseptic Tibial Diaphyseal Nonunions without Bone Defect.

Background: Treatment of tibial diaphyseal nonunions are rather difficult. Plate-screw, intramedullary nailing and external fixation are the methods used for treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment results of aseptic diaphyseal nonunions following tibia fractures by intramedullary compressive tibia nailing (IMCN) with or without bone graft.

Alteration of Thiol-Disulfide Homeostasis in Fibromyalgia Syndrome.

Background: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is an extra-articular rheumatological disease, characterized by widespread pain and somatic symptoms. The etiology has not yet been clarified. Oxidative stress may play an important role in FMS etiology.

Objective: The aim of this study was to establish the effectiveness of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the detection of metastasis in N0 necks of T1-T2 early-stage oral cavity cancers.

Materials And Methods: Twenty neck dissections were performed in 18 patients diagnosed with T1 and T2 oral cavity cancer, with an indication for elective neck dissection between November 2007 and January 2011. The male to female ratio was 12:8, with a mean age of 54.

The effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on head, neck, shoulder, low back and knee pain of female patients.

As the rise on the prevalence of obesity, it is related with physical impairment of joints, especially in the lumbar spine and knee joints. Losing body weight can reduce or eliminate pain of head, neck, shoulder, lumbar spine and knees. By performing a laparoscopic bariatric surgery we demonstrated a significant improvement on the pain by body weight reduction.

Ipsilateral supracondylar humerus fracture and Monteggia lesion with a 5-year follow-up: a rare injury in a young girl.

Although elbow injuries and fractures of the forearm are common in children, the combination of these injuries is rare. We present a case of a 5-year-old patient with a concomitant ipsilateral supracondylar humerus fracture and Monteggia lesion. After physical and radiographic examination of the injured extremity in the emergency department, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning were performed under image intensifier under general anaesthesia.

Patients And Methods: Between January 1999 and December 2011, we performed distal locking with locked intramedullary nails on 501 femoral bone fractures using bone alignment and aspiration technique without fluoroscopy and 578 tibial bone fractures using medial malleolus alignment, bone alignment and aspiration technique without fluoroscopy at Antalya Training and Research Hospital.

Results: With the combination of these three locking techniques and two checking methods, locking was successful in all cases except one.

Simultaneous shoulder and elbow dislocation.

Ipsilateral shoulder and elbow dislocation is very rare and only six articles are present in the literature mentioning this kind of a complex injury. With this presentation we aim to emphasise the importance of assessing the adjacent joints in patients with trauma in order not to miss any accompanying pathologies. We report a case of a 43-year-old female patient with ipsilateral right shoulder and elbow dislocation treated conservatively.

Traction apophysitis of the fifth metatarsal base in a child: Iselin's disease.

Although Iselin's disease, apophysitis of the fifth metatarsal base, is not infrequent in clinical practice, it is accepted as a rare cause of lateral foot pain in young adolescents. Usually a simple clinical examination and radiographs are sufficient for diagnosis. We present a patient with Iselin's disease and discuss its clinical and radiographic characteristics, differential diagnosis, aetiopathogenesis and treatment.

Dislocated ankle fracture complicated by near total distal ischaemia.

Total arterial ischaemia is rarely seen following a dislocated ankle fracture but if it does and intervention is not made, it can lead to serious morbidity. We present a 39-year-old woman with almost total occlusion in the arteria tibialis and arteria dorsalis pedis following a dislocated ankle fracture as a result of a bicycle fall.
